Powertrains

The updated Hyundai Venue will continue with its 83PS 1.2-litre petrol, 100PS 1.5-litre diesel, and 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol engines, with manual, DCT (dual clutch auto), and iMT (clutchless manual) transmissions. 

We expect the 2022 Venue to command a premium over the pre-facelift version’s prices, which ranges from Rs 7.11 lakh to Rs 11.84 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It will take on the Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Kia Sonet and the Mahindra XUV300.
